the riding mower to and from the mowing area; this provides maximum
ground clearance.

attempt to screw the adjusting lever's set button in or out.
Shift lever (H3011 only, Manual Transmission)
This lever is used to select one of the five forward speeds, neutral, or
reverse. The drive clutch automatically disengages while the lever is being
moved. The clutch will then engage automatically when put into gear
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
m
Do not operate the shift lever on a slope.
m
Bring the riding mower to a complete stop before shifting from
a forward speed to reverse, or from reverse to a forward speed. Shifting
between forward and reverse speeds while the riding mower is moving
can cause transmission damage.
When shifting from one forward speed range to another while moving, do
not force the shift lever and do not shift up or down more than one slot at
a
time.

NOTE: The riding mower will pull
away from a stop in any speed
range. No shifting is necessary.
4th and 5th speeds are not recom-
mended for mowing but may be used
for driving the riding mower from one
area to another.
